Great turn out last night. Over 250 in, which for a friday, motorways getting closed at 7 pm a busy weekend locally and a new allnighter, was a good result.
Honest overview.
Venue is the 'dogs nuts' and the management are very happy with everything and have given us 7 dates for next year on top of the three remaining this year. It is a big venue so could do with a few more in to help the two smaller rooms work better.
A few grumbles about music, ie some wanted more oldies, some wanted more new stuff. Some wanted more modern/crossover in the mainroom, some wanted more 100mph stomper. To be honest will never please everyone but we are happy to listen and the DJ's we have are flexible with great collections so will take all views on board. As we have three rooms, we will tweak things for next so we can keep the majority happy. But in the main as the crowd and DJ's were all new to each other, went well. 80% of the crowd where from within 50 miles of the event, but we knew it would be a big ask for people from further a field to make it on a friday.
Overall the people I spoke to and I spoke to alot were very happy with the night. The event will go from strenght to strenght, with a great venue, saturday nights, great dj's in all the rooms, plus the addition of others like Butch yet to to come.
So from Malayka and Myself a big thanks to all that came and made it a great first night for 'Powerstation'

thanks to all involved for the great first niter,its going to be a huge shot in the arm to the quality of soul music n venues in the area. music was a good mix,some very good soul played by all djs. some of the slow stuff were floor clearers,just as the djs had filled it with a classic.i know it will get its own unique B.P.S sound soon. its a must for us for the future. good crowd inc.mark,mick,shane n bev and mates,paigton pete,steve n kerry,sean n sarah,big tony,jamie,annette n steve,dundeeron. roll on the next one. YOU BETTER USE IT BEFORE YOU LOOSE IT
